Breaking news
From the hard-headed Barcelona Bureau of Mox-jammies Media.
"Right wing wacko gets smacked on head with 100 lb television (during the O'Reilly Factor) on her 35th birthday."
This is about a friend, of course. NOT ME.
But how long should this person, (who again, is not me) sit around with ice on her ripe forehead goose-egg? And how long before she can sleep without worrying about waking up only to be greeted by Ronald Reagan, Gerald Ford and Jesus?
UPDATE: My friend made it through the night, though her head hurts a lot. At least, that is what she tells me.

Oh, and, um, happy birthday to your friend who isn't you.

Okay, I will have my friend follow the 10 minutes on advice, even though she says it makes her brain freeze after 2 minutes. Again, this is only what SHE says, I obviously have no first hand knowledge about this horribly hilarious problem.
And my friend thanks you for the b-day wishes, Phin! She wishes she could be out right now...but well those big TV's and their propensity for falling on right wing noggins....

Oh and she says you are holding up 15 fingers....am I is she right?

Happy Birthday to your friend with the lumpy head.
Would she be mad if she woke up with Ronald Reagan? If not let her sleep now. LOL
She could always just wear a bicycle helmet everywhere like Steve H. Just write her name inside so if she gets lost friendly folk in vans can bring her home.
And just in case no one has told you today, you are a extraordinarly beautiful woman with a great sense of humor.

Happy birthday to your friend, who is of course, not you... knowing full well that you discontinued to practice of having birthdays a couple of years ago and are undoubtedly still 29 years old. :-)
Sorry about the O'Reilly Factor causing your TV to assult your friend's head... never trust anyone who was formerly in tabloid television.

As the bumper sticker says, "Television hates you."
Next year, encourage your friend who is not you (Happy Birthday to her!) to go for the birthday spankings instead of the concussion.

(* Stretch... Yawn...*)
Why do the interesting things happen on my day off...
Well... why did your friend let her television hit her on the head anyway? Was the tea party with the white rabbit getting too wild?
ooog.. a goose egg. Kinda remindsme of the time I was juming rope with too short of a jump rope.... I mean a friend was doing it.
Ya know, calling your HMO's help line would not be such a bad idea - for your frined, Mox...

My friend would love to have an HMO, but....being a few hours older than 35...she says it's wildly expensive. I wouldn't know about this sort of thing, being 25 and all.
But I am happy to report my friend is going to stay awake a few more hours to be safe, as much as she would love to be greeted by Ronald Reagan's smiling and handsome visage.

Not meeting Reagan and Ford is a sacrifice for my friend -- especially because my friend would also love to goose Jesus for pulling the wool over those religious folk's eyes.
Btw, those maintaining a candlelight vigil for my friend, she is still okay and can see straight despite the goose egg on her forehead at 2:44 AM, Pacific time.
Posted by: Moxie at January 13, 2007 2:45 AM
Well, it is nice that she has friends that will stay up with her in this time of concern.
Ya gotta meet with RR at the 'Right' time, otherwise he will not be happy. Besides it'll make Baby Jesus cry...
So your 25, Mox? I thought you were 29? What do I know...
Posted by: cond0010 at January 13, 2007 2:57 AM
Hey, Mox,
Here are some symptoms of concussion that I got off the Web MD...

Well, if it DID happen, I think it would be better waking up to see Jesus's face than Jeebus's...

Spend $100. Go see a doc-in-the-box. Maybe even get a head xray. For your friend. Who isn't you. Because, you know, we don't want or need anything happening to your friend. Who isn't you.

Actually, it sounds like the party was with the grey goose.

That is the most embarrassing part -- there was no drinky drink involved!
Posted by: Moxie at January 13, 2007 2:28 PM
Its almost been 24 hours since you got that goose egg, Moxie. How is it doing now?
Posted by: cond0010 at January 13, 2007 5:56 PM
It's the 14th, so Happy Birthday.

Question:
Was the TV thrown at your "friend" in anger? I ask because I'm having a hard time envisioning how this could have happened accidentally.
I actually doubletaked for a second there, my mind reading your post as O'Reilly hitting your "friend" with a 100 lb TV.(yeah, I need coffee).
Posted by: Russ at January 16, 2007 8:13 AM
I don't think O'Reilly would have hit Mox's, er, friend, with a TV. He might have offered to use a loofah, however. Or perhaps a falafel.
Oh, and Mox, happy birthday, uh, to your friend, and please pass along my regrets for missing it.
